Sorry to spoil the fun folks, but I had an original Leatherman and the Mini when they first came out and found the Mini to be terribly underwhelming. Not nearly the utility of its big brother and not really any easier to carry. Mine got traded off years ago to I hope a more appreciative home and I've never looked back.

I picked up a VERY slightly used one for $10 Oz. What can one expect from a $10 tool? I was not too sure, the pics looked a little blurry and they were small. I could not see any rust and it came with an original PST sheath so I decided to take a chance. The tool got delivered today and I was pleasantly surprised. No Rust for a 0998 tool. The blade was as sharp as a Flair spreader knife . A good soapy bath, ceramic rods and a bit of lube and it is as good as new.

I bought the Mini Tool, 2 Micras, a Vic SD in day-glow yellow, a Vic Super Tinker and a Vic Tinker Delux all for $100. The Micras were basically new, the SD near new too, just needed some sharpening. The two Tinkers are OK as daily users. I am going to "renew" them a bit. New scissors and pliers springs, new tooth pics (I just cannot bring myself using a second-hand toothpic ) and new scales.
